The clock struck midnight…
Lu Zhi and Jiang Yining smoothly exchanged their wedding rings and, in front of the priest, all their friends, as well as social elites from across the country, they made vows of lifelong commitment.
Everyone stood up and applauded, offering their blessings to the newlyweds.
Old Madam Lu looked at Chen Kexin with concern and said, “Xin’er, are you okay?”
“Grandmother, I’m fine, don’t worry.”
Chen Kexin’s face showed a hint of embarrassment, but she managed to keep her composure.
Old Madam Lu whispered, “Don’t worry, 1 will help you find someone better than Ah Zhi.”
Deep down, the old lady hadn’t given up on the idea of Chen Kexin marrying her grandson. However, she also understood that trying to force Jiang Yining to divorce Ah Zhi, given Jiang Yining’s strong backing from the Gu family, wouldn’t be an easy task.
If they let this drag on, it might take ten or twenty years…
They couldn’t make Chen Kexin wait that long, could they? A young girl’s youth was limited, and if, in the future, All Zhi divorced Jiang Yining and still refused to marry Chen Kexin, wouldn’t that be a lifetime wasted for her?
Therefore, Old Madam Lu planned to arrange another marriage for Chen Kexin.
“Grandmother, you don’t have to worry about me. I will find my other half on my own,” Chen Kexin said, not wanting to reveal the alliance she had formed with Gu Zhanqing.
Old Madam Lu thought Chen Kexin was consoling herself.
Silently in her heart, she considered which talented young man among her acquaintances was still unmarried.
The wedding concluded, and the guests boarded the planes to head to the island. Lu Zhi and Jiang Yining also boarded a plane, preparing for departure.
However, just as they entered, Gu Zhanqing and Jiang Rou followed closely behind. Shortly afterward, Chen Kexin quietly walked onto the plane, saying, “All the other cabins are full, and Grandmother asked me to join her on this flight.”
Her words had barely left her lips when Old Madam Lu’s voice came over the intercom, unapologetically saying, “1 asked Kexin to accompany me to take care of me. Don’t tell me you can’t fulfill even this small request?”
“How would we dare to oppose whatever Grandmother wants?” Jiang Yining responded, her words carrying a hint of sarcasm. After all, she knew that Old Madam Lu was deliberately trying to make Chen Kexin uncomfortable. Despite knowing that Chen Kexin had feelings for Lu Zhi, she still invited her here, causing needless complications.
Ignoring Jiang Yining’s tone, Old Madam Lu held Chen Kexin’s hand and walked to sit across from Gu Zhanqing and Jiang Rou.
Jiang Rou smiled obediently and said, “Hello, Grandma Lu.”
Old Madam Lu looked at the girl sitting in front of her, who bore a striking resemblance to Jiang Yining but had a completely different temperament. She couldn’t help but snort quietly. If Jiang Yining were as docile and sensible as her sister, she wouldn’t have been so troublesome. She couldn’t understand why Ah Zhi was so infatuated with Jiang Yining. Even if he didn’t like Chen Kexin, he could have chosen Jiang Rou.
Old Madam Lu nodded and then shifted her gaze to Gu Zhanqing. She remembered that this young man from the Gu family was thirty-five years old and still unmarried. He was quite the talent, not inferior to Ah Zhi. Since Jiang Yining had taken Chen Kexin’s heartthrob away, why not marry Chen Kexin to Gu Zhanqing? That way, she would become Jiang Yining’s sister-in-law, and it might ease her resentment.
With these thoughts in mind, Old Madam Lu asked, “Mr. Gu, are you married? Do you have someone special in your life?”
Gu Zhanqing slightly furrowed his brows, almost imperceptibly, and said, “I’m not married. 1 believe in the single life, and 1 have no plans to get married in this lifetime.”
“Oh my, how can that be? If you don’t get married, who will take care of you when you grow old? Besides, with the Gu family being so substantial, if you don’t have an heir, won’t your hard work go to waste?” Old Madam Lu took Chen Kexin’s small hand and continued, “Kexin also doesn’t have a partner… It’s really worrying.”
Her intentions were clear, and everyone in the cabin understood what she meant.
Jiang Rou, holding a tea cup, trembled slightly. She spilled the hot tea onto her fair hand, and it stung, causing her to utter a soft cry.
Gu Zhanqing quickly checked her injury and asked, “Are you alright? Why were you so careless?”
“The plane just experienced some turbulence,” Jiang Rou replied softly.
“Does it hurt?”
Gu Zhanqing asked.
“It doesn’t hurt; it’s not a big deal,” Jiang Rou replied, pulling her hand back and using a tissue to wipe her hand.
Gu Zhanqing touched the remaining water in the tea cup and found that it wasn’t too hot, so he relaxed.
All of these actions were observed by Old Madam Lu, and she became increasingly satisfied with Gu Zhanqing. He was attentive and caring toward the young girl, which indicated that he might treat his future wife well.
Old Madam Lu continued to try to get more information from Gu Zhanqing..
